CMC Markets CFDs

Trading CFDs on the CMC Markets platform provides investors with a broad range of features and benefits:

Global Markets — investors have the option to speculate on a wide range of markets including indices, currencies, commodities and shares. Shares CFDs are available on UK, US and German companies as well as firms in many other countries from Austria to Sweden.

Pricing — CMC Markets offer spreads on the major instruments starting from just 0.7pts on products such as the EUR/USD, USD/JPY, UK100, US30, Germany 30 and many more. Most major instruments also start from just 0.25% margin requirements.

Fractional Trading — clients can place a trade in round amount in their local currency even if trading instruments priced in another currency. Clients can also now trade from as little as 1/1000th of a unit and are now not restricted to ‘whole units’.

CFD Tracker — this lets investors track the price movement of a given market.

Portfolio Mixer — choose markets you want to trade and put them together in the portfolio mixer.

Customisable Leverage —

Invest without tying up large amounts of capital.

Clients can choose how much financing / leverage they want to use for each position, from 0% to 99.75% leverage.

The 0% financing option should appeal to long-term investors who traditionally buy stocks and shares via a broker. CMC Markets clients can hold onto positions long-term with no leverage.

Short-term traders may prefer to choose higher levels of leverage.

Leverage magnifies both profits and losses.

CMC Markets Trading Orders

There is a range of CFD trading orders:

Stop Loss orders — an order to close a trade if the market moves against a position and past a set level (note that Stop Loss orders are not guaranteed).

Transaction based Stop Loss — a risk management feature which automatically suggests a Stop Loss level for each new trade.

Trailing Stops — an order similar to a Stop Loss however the level of the order automatically moves if there is a favourable movement of the market that you are trading. Therefore the Trailing Stop helps to lock in a profit should the market reverse and start to move against your trade.

Limit orders — an order that opens a trade when the market hits a set level.

Take Profit orders — an order that closes a profitable trade when the market breaches a set level.

Trading orders can be updated directly on the charts by dragging the orders to new levels. Once in place the order ticket is automatically updated.
